My client's son was getting married and I was invited to the wedding. The location is about 45 minutes from my home - but I left giving myself two hours travel time.
I plugged in the address of the church and off I went. I followed to the letter every turn my GPS gave me. It took me onto a freeway - took me off the freeway - traveled surface streets for a while and then had me on another freeway.
I still am carefully following the instructions and turn left when told. I ended up in the hills in an all residential area. It clearly tells me as I pull up in front of a beautiful home - YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION.
I must have done something wrong - made a wrong turn - didn't pay attention - I was really beating myself up and time was running out.
So I went back down the hill and started over - and ended up at the same house. Just then a woman pulled into the driveway -and I quickly got out of the car to talk to her. No, she wasn't having a wedding at her home that day - but where was I trying to go??..........I told her and she laughed - I had to go back down the hill and go across the highway.
The address I used was correct - but the GPS sent me left rather than right.
So what should have taken me 45 minutes on a Saturday took me almost my entire allotted time of 2 hours.
You DO NOT ARRIVE LATE AT YOUR CLIENT'S SON'S WEDDING!! I made it into the Church just minutes before the bride walked down the aisle.
PHEW!! So even if they can be wonderful - they can also be not so wonderful if you have a time problem.
